Press Opinions. 


Mr. FULLER’s style is original, and one of the very few that, in all this 
country, can be distinctly pronounced as truly individual.— Boston Fournal. 


The more one sees his work, the more one admires it. Familiarity breeds 
love. In every respect we are forced to conclude that Fuller was a master 
whose like is among the rarest phenomena in the arts, and whose place cannot 
be entirely filled by any living painter. He belongs to the men who will 
be enormously appreciated hereafter. * * * * America has lost a great ideal 
Painter, whose place it will be hard to fill.—4. VY. Times. 


The Collection of Mr. Fuller’s works must be seen, and should be seen 
often, to have its fullness of beauty and subtilety of impression take possession 
of the mind — Boston Transcript. 


Mr. Fuller is among the most conscientious —it might be better to say the 
most loving —of workmen, No time, no effort, no thought, no pains seem to 
him too much to bestow on his creations. He works on them sometimes for 
years before he allows the world to see them, in the effort (always, I suppose, 
appearing fruitless to the true artist) to make the outward form tally with the 
inner vision.— /V. Y. Commercial Advertiser. 


It is necessary to insist upon the point that Mr, Fuller is an idealist, a 
thinker, a dreamer, a poet; that painting with him is the only chosen means 
of expressing certain visions, of presenting to the world certain imaginary per- 
sonages, creatures of his brain, spirits from the fairyland of his gracious fancy. 
— Boston Advertiser. 


One of the strongest, most original, and poetic of American figure and 
landscape painters.— 4. Y. Herald, 


George Fuller’s works form an important element in our art.— D. Hunt- 
ington, Pres. National Academy of Design. 


His works are creations; his power is that of the Poet as well as the 
Painter; and the secret of it all is a fine, original genius, which has cut its own 
way and worked out results by its own methods.— Boston Traveller.
